   The Sorting Hat sorted Neville into Gryffindor.  It offered to 
sort Harry into Slytherin knowing that Harry has it in him to become 
great and that Slytherin's house would nurture that tendency.  We all 
know Harry's reaction to that!
  Therefore, I believe that the Sorting Hat knows something I don't 
know (YET) and that's why Neville is a Gryffindor. I think that some 
dire necessity will impell Neville to overcome the klutzhood he has 
created as a defense against ending up like his parents...sort of 
like a person who had witnessed a horror shutting down his sense of 
sight, lest he witness another such horror.
